Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 25 - 31, 2026, as Medicolegal Death Investigation Professionals Week in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially designate January 25-31, 2026, as "Medicolegal Death Investigation Professionals Week" in New York State. It honors professionals who investigate deaths to determine causes and manners, provide critical information to families, and support public health and law enforcement systems. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but symbolically recognizes these workers' vital role in investigating suspicious, violent, or unexplained deaths. It directly affects the Governor (who must issue the proclamation) and the professionals being honored. The resolution was adopted by the Assembly on January 27, 2026.
